@@JulieCarriere_TheScrapZone I have to put things away after each project I make. But then there are always the "rogue" things that never seem to find a home! 😘

I have been storing my cardstock in the paper envelopes for a couple of years now in an IKEA shelf. Some of my envelopes are a bit fuller than yours so they fill up two cubes. I have used solid metal bookends available cheaply from K-mart in the middle of each cube to help them stand up straight. I used a label maker and have them in alphabetical order. Scraps go into the same bag as full sheets and the glitter papers each have their own envelope along with vellum etc and are stored in the next cube! CTMH make it easy for us to store our cardstock in a safe way! Just add a pack or two of envelopes every time you order and you will soon have enough!

I started with just the plastic bags, you can add labels and you’d be good to go.

I used this method a couple years ago. I didn’t think to label the outside like you did. But the envelopes were slippery and slid down. Drove me crazy. Plus I’m a horder when it comes to paper. I could only get 2 packs in an envelope. I wanted to get it all in there. My goal was to get it put where it needed to go. I eventually went to Kallax shelving and purchased their cabinets. I got the paper shelve holders from stamp n storage. They have 12 or 15 shelves whichever you purchase. I absolutely love them. They hold probably 3 packs of card stock. The shelves you had in your video are great to hold the paper packs like Party time. Holds however many you want to put in there. Might be able to put 2 collections in there. I fold paper to be my biggest stress builder but this has taken some of my worries away. I’m not rich I sold a bunch of collections I wasn’t going to use and stamps to get my shelves and inserts. It was an enormous project. It took me all summer long to get my room in order. It’s still not there. But it’s functional till I get the energy to work on it some more.

Other drawers in the 5 drawer units hold block stamps, inks, papers for painting & recycled microwaveable plastic cartons which hold die cuts made from recycling old greeting card.
